Finding the best web hosting service provider just got easier. Here you’ll find the best of the best from around the web compiled on one page.
Have a look around, read a review or two, and check out some plans to see which web hosting provider makes the most sense for you.
WPX Hosting is the Best Web Hosting Service provider by far. I’ve used some other hosting providers and after finding their services, I’ll never go anywhere else.
Unless of course they go out of business (which I don’t see happening) or unless some revolutionary new web hosting service comes around.
One of the main things I love most is the support and billing practices. When I first signed up, I’d accidentally processed my information twice and had multiple charges showing on my bank account.
WPX Hosting’s support quickly resolved the issue and even migrated over my websites for me at no additional cost from my previous hosting provider.
Great prices, excellent customer service, and more importantly a lightning fast website as it comes included with a CDN (Content delivery network) built into their web hosting. Highly recommended.

Bluehost is great for beginners and even for advanced web builders who are looking to send massive traffic to their websites.
They offer shared, vps, and dedicated hosting packages. Customer service is great and the interface is clean and easy to navigate.
They also have a lot of neatly laid out documentation to help navigate you through any issues you might be having if you’re a do it yourself type of person.
If you’re just getting started online and want a great web hosting service provider without breaking the bank, Bluehost is a great choice.

Trusted by over 2,000,000 domains across the web, SiteGround has been around since 2004 and continues to grow as a multi-dimensional web hosting company.
Services range from web hosting, WordPress hosting, WooCommerce hosting, as well as cloud hosting.
All Siteground plans come with an SSL certificate, CDN, as well as a 30-day money back guarantee amongst other features.
While they aren’t the most affordable hosting provider, their quality of service and 99.9% server uptime make it one of the most trusted and reliable in the web hosting space.
Powering over 8 million hosted domains, Hostgator is considered to many as one of the top 10 best web hosting companies around. The Houston, Texas company has been around since 2002 and has no signs of slowing down. With competitive pricing, excellent up time, and great customer support, it’s no surprise why so many flock to the gator.
Offering 1-click WordPress installations, free SSL certificates, and a free domain included when you sign up for a 12, 24, or 36 month hosting plan. They also offer a website builder with over 200+ templates to choose from. Great option for beginners.
Founded in 2013, the Kinsta family prides themselves on their desire to change the status quo and provide the fastest WordPress hosting available on the market.
With a 99.9% uptime and a partnership with Google Cloud, they seem to be doing things right. According to a Google Cloud case study, Kinsta saw their own website load times reduced by 50%.
If that’s the same site speed they’re passing on to you, then you’ll be sure to get some lightning fast page loads.
Being able to create a free account with Kinsta to try out a demo of their web hosting dashboard is a plus. Not many companies give you the opportunity to check out the product before purchasing. This is something to love already about the company.
Here’s a quick snapshot of what their backend interface looks like.
Compared to most hosting dashboards, this is the cleanest looking one I’ve come across with metrics included.
While Kinsta plans do come at more of a premium, you’re getting your money’s worth and then some.
You’ll notice right away on A2 hosting’s home page that they offer up to 20X faster web hosting. From a shared hosting perspective, they’re extremely fast.
Shared hosting is when many websites all share one server. Oftentimes this means slower site speeds as there isn’t enough bandwidth to maintain all of the sites.
A2 takes the cake in this department.
You can also use the A2 SiteBuilder to create your own website using one of their templates. Pricing starts off very fair with A2 hosting and works it’s way up depending on how much web traffic you’re getting.
Whether you want shared hosting, WordPress hosting, or VPS hosting, A2 offers it all. Great for beginners all the way up to advanced web users.
If you’re on the more advanced end and are thinking of starting your own hosting company, A2 also offers reseller hosting. This means you can create a web hosting business and partner up through A2 to fulfill the service. When I say they’ve got all angles covered, they really do.
There’s a reason why SoundCloud, arguably one of the webs most visited music platforms trusts WP Engine to host their website—reliability.
The people first company prides themselves on speedy web service, excellent customer service, and inclusivity.
According to their website, 66% of their leadership positions are filled by women, 30% of their employee’s aren’t college graduates, 33% are people of color, and 8% of their employee’s identify with the LGBTQ community.
As strong as their company values are, they also form strong partnerships with the likes of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform guaranteeing you site speed and servers you can count on.
It’s safe to say that they offer the tools necessary to play with the big boys if enterprise solutions are what you’re looking for.
If you’re looking to start a simple blog or a start website, WP Engine does come at a bit of a premium but still offers 24/7/365 support and a beautifully designed user portal.

One of the original web hosting companies around since 2001, InMotion hosting offers quality service people have been trusted for years.
With great uptime, 24/7 support, and free email accounts included with each hosting plan, they’ve been around for a reason.
Upon landing on the homepage, you sort of get a web 1.0 type feel but don’t let that fool you. The company offers fast, reliable service, at price ranges that make sense for everyone.
While reliable, the user interface can be a bit confusing to navigate, and there seems to be a lot of features crammed into one space.
On the upside, they do offer 90-day money back guarantee’s and 30-day money back guarantee’s for shared hosting plans.
When I first got started online, the first web hosting company I went with was GoDaddy. The interface wasn’t always user friendly but they definitely always had great customer support and I would say 9/10 times I got my issues resolved.
Considered to be one of the largest and most popular web hosting and domain registrars on the web, they’ve been around since 1997 and were originally called Jomax.
Pricing was always fair, and 1-click installations have always been a thing for WordPress, Joomla, Weebly, Drupal, etc. One of the reasons I decided to go elsewhere was for speed and simplicity.
Since GoDaddy has grown into a titan of the industry, it seems as though they’ve dipped into various niches within the web space in general, taking their focus on what used to make them the best—simplicity.
Uptime is 99.7%, 24/7 customer support, but there’s an overwhelming amount of upsells and you won’t be getting an SSL certificate with your website, which is a standard on the web today. Good for beginners but not a top pick if you’re serious about providing a great web experience.
Another giant in the web hosting industry is DreamHost. The Los Angeles based hosting provider has been around since 1996, serving the web for over 24-years.
Like many other hosting providers, DreamHost offers 1-click WordPress installation, supports WooCommerce, and even Wix and Weebly websites alike.
DreamHost guarantee’s 100% uptime, although in most cases we know that anything can happen. So far they’ve been pretty close, coming in with an uptime of 99.94%.
All three of their web hosting plans come standard with an SSL certificate and you have a choice to choose between a monthly or annual based billing, with the annual offering a slight discount. They even offer a drag and drop website builder at an additional cost.
Lots of options to choose from but more importantly, the uptime is great, and the customer support is good.
Founded in Lithuania back in 2004 and formerly known as Hosting Media, the company decided to rebrand after achieving 1-million customers served, and by 2011 the name Hostinger was born.
Today, Hostinger’s userbase is worldwide, serving 39-countries and over 10-million customers. By those numbers alone, they seem to know a thing or two about web hosting.
While they do have a great resume, there’s also some hiccups that come along with Hostinger. They’re certainly the most cheapest web hosting company, with hosting plans starting as low as $0.99/mo, but it comes with compromises.
You’ll get a great user interface, but sub par chat support. Easy one-click installations, but an okay drag and drop web builder. The site speeds are average and the uptime is okay too. If you’re just beginning and want something affordable, you can’t go wrong with Hostinger.
Based out of Tempe, Arizona, iPage has been around since 1998 and first started off as a full web service provider. Then in 2009, founder Tomas Gorny decided to pivot the operations to web hosting and never looked back. Since then, iPage has amassed quite a user base, currently serving over 1-million websites across it’s two data centers.
What do you get with iPage? For starters, you’re going to get the best value for your dollar. Compared to Hostinger, iPage also shines through with its affordability factor. You also get a free SSL certificated included with your hosting, something even GoDaddy doesn’t offer.
Uptimes are above average at 99.96%, customer service is good, and what you see is what you get. One tradeoff is your load times won’t be the fastest but will be decent at best, and after your first-year, your prices will go up slightly for the same services.
Founded in 2006 by Jamie Opalchuk, the Canadian based web hosting service company prides itself on being green. In fact, HostPapa uses 100% renewable energy to power their data centers, web servers, and office computers. They’ve taken drastic measures to make sure they’re going green, but is it worth your green?
While helping to donate 10,000 trees in Africa for Earth Day back in 2011 is noble, nobility alone will not give you a fast website, great customer service, or insanely fast load times.
Their philanthropy matches the product they produce with 99.95% uptime, above average load times, and a 30-day money back guarantee. The downside seems to revolve around the negative feedback regarding customer support. But if you’re all about mission based hosts that do a good enough job, HostPapa is as green as they get.
